Gilded Washi {Dollar Store} Binder Clips

So while I was cleaning (yes, the craft hoard is a mess. again) I found a few pretty rolls I had picked up a while ago. And if you give a girl some boring office supplies, some washi tape, and toss in some paint…

Y’all are going to get some pretty office supplies for your desk or work area. For $1 plus paint and tape. Let’s make stuff.

Yeah. That’s kind of what I was thinking too when I brought these home recently. They are basic, but I’m not
super excited about using them in my workspace. So, this will be the fastest craft ever, here is what I did.

Supplies:

Medium or large binder clips (I picked mine up at Dollar Tree)

Gold spray paint or color of your choice

Washi tape in colors/designs of your choice

Directions:

Spray paint binder clips on both sides, allowing them to dry well

Add washi tape strips to each side of the binder clip & store them in a pretty bowl

And that’s it. I’m going to make a few sets of these and keep them on hand for an impromptu hostess gift or surprise
for a friend.

I saw these the other day when I got your email update while waiting to pick up my little girl from school and I’ve been meaning to come over and tell you how much I love them! They look so fancy! Adding this to my office to do list! Oh….and pinning!

I love this simple and fun idea! I’m going to have to do this with my washi tape and clips! My friends and I started a lifestyle link party where we focus on interior design, health, fashion, beauty, and things we find inspirational!

Hello from “NiftyThriftySunday” linkup. I can’t decide what is my favorite feature – that you painted the binder clips gold or added the washi tape detailing?! What a great idea and combination of ideas. I love all things to do with stationery and paper and these would be a great addition to any home office. I am ‘pinning’ for sure. 🙂
